The Houston Landing has hired former Wall Street Journal staffer Dion Nissenbaum as a reporter.

He will start Oct. 7.

Nissenbaum worked for The Journal in several high-profile roles, stationed in Brussels, Beirut, Istanbul, Kabul and Jerusalem. He has served as a bureau chief, a Middle East correspondent, a war correspondent and a senior correspondent.

He’s covered national security, the Pentagon, and counterterrorism policy.

Earlier in his career, Nissenbaum served as a state capitol reporter for the San Jose Mercury News in Sacramento, producing reporting that contributed to the forced resignation of state officials, changes in California laws and calls for special investigations of former Gov. Gray Davis.

He was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for International reporting in 2022 and in 2017, and received the James K. Batten Excellence Award in 2003, among many other awards. He published “A Street Divided: Stories from Jerusalem’s Alley of God” in 2015.
